Sinopse

"National Score Systems" explores the pervasive use of standardized test scores as indicators of national educational quality. It argues that these scores, while seemingly objective, often fail to accurately reflect the complexities of diverse education systems. The book reveals how political influences and socio-economic factors can significantly skew results, challenging the assumption that high scores automatically equate to successful education. A key insight is that standardized tests might reflect systemic inequalities more than actual improvements in educational quality. The book examines the historical development and statistical underpinnings of standardized testing, while critically assessing their validity in representing diverse educational landscapes. It highlights the OECD's role in promoting international comparisons using these scores, cautioning against over-reliance on them. Furthermore, the book traces the evolution of standardized testing from its origins to its current use in national and international assessments, demonstrating how their interpretations can be misleading. Organized into four parts, the book progresses from introducing the history and methodology of standardized testing to scrutinizing the political and socio-economic dimensions that influence national score systems. Finally, it advocates for alternative assessment methods, emphasizing qualitative and holistic measures to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of national school performance and to help design more equitable and effective education policies.

  • Success Without School - Unschooling my Children from Birth to College - cover

    Success Without School -...

    Consequences of the ongoing pandemic have seriously affected educational systems in the U.S. and around the world. School closures and the opportunities or nightmares of remote learning have caused many parents to reconsider options for schooling their children. Alternatives to conventional school are currently hot topics, strongly motivated by growing racism and the social bullying that confront many youngsters and teens in todays school environment. (New Yorker Magazine, June 21, 2021, "The Rise of Black Homeschooling") 
    Jean Nunnally's memoir of her trials and triumphs in unschooling her two children from birth to college provides an enlightening insight into the innate learning ability of humans, showing how self-esteem, trust and personal responsibility were preserved and strengthened for herself and her kids. "Unschooling" the author says, "is the way we have learned throughout time and the way adults learn when they are free to pursue their interests." Her book gives an overview of unschooling or self-directed learning, but so much more. Jean not only did the work, but her son and daughter are proof that unschooling works. They were each accepted in and graduated from prestigious U.S. colleges and testify, in personal reflections at the end of the narrative, to the happiness and fulfillment of their elementary and high school years following their passions, their hobbies, their music, their dreams, often in stark contrast to the struggles with traditional forms their peers were required to submit to. 
    Success Without School addresses myths and misperceptions of unschoolers. She explains how her view of school changed, and changed her, as she proceeded to unschool her children. She leaves the reader with an encouraging description of the three jobs of an unschooling parent: exposure, facilitation, and modeling; and offers her unique approach to preparing an unschooled teen for college, and the specific challenges that required.

    Dr. Jeffrey Rubin's work—the culmination of four decades immersed in psychoanalysis and Eastern mind-body disciplines—introduces a unique method uniting these wisdom traditions. While both aim to alleviate suffering, their attempts at integration often remain superficial. Rubin demonstrates how therapy and meditation compensate for each other's blind spots, providing richer understanding and opening unexpected pathways to healing and transformation. 
     
    There's growing interest in blending Eastern meditative and Western psychotherapeutic traditions among practitioners and those seeking deeper self-understanding. In response, Rubin illuminates how these practices, when pursued together, create synergies and offer profound depths of insight impossible to achieve through either discipline alone. 
     
    Meditative Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis provides the conceptual framework underlying the author's Psychotherapy Case Studies, offering a comprehensive theoretical foundation that enriches its practical companion volume. Together, these works create a powerful resource for therapists, spiritual seekers, and anyone interested in personal growth, offering a natural path to psychological healing and a more meaningful life.
